Good luck out there Whitson! Lifehacker’s become my favorite site on the internet under your watch. Thanks for everything :D

As much as I want to, even after terrible experiences with most of these airlines, I can’t bring myself to say, “I’ll never fly with this company again!” Inevitably, I’m going to have to take a trip where the airline I’ve sworn off is the only one that provides a flight at the time I need for a price I can afford.

Anything? Okay then. Hey LH staff! How are you doing?

Requires some mention: Star Wars: Aftermath is the major book that’s supposed to show the state of the galaxy following the destruction of the Second Death Star. I’ve read it and it’s pretty enjoyable! The Amazon reviews page looks like it got hit hard by trolls, though. Probably because it eliminated a lot of beloved…

My parents more or less made my fiancee and I their pawn sacrifice for free gifts the last time we were at a timeshare. They sent us to the meeting instead, knowing that we don’t even have the money to invest in this sort of thing, and about an hour later we walked out with a ton of free booze.

Whitson: You are my favorite person on Lifehacker now.

Maybe it’s the way that I write, but I got a pack of G-2’s a while ago and immediately wanted to throw them away. Mine splotch around everywhere, and it takes so long for it to dry!

Great thing you asked after I’d listened to this podcast. Journeyman Writer had an ep a little while back about the burnout cycle thing, which I think is a great idea: http://storywonk.com/the-journeyman…

I feel like I Lack the proper tools and skills to do this.

Interesting! I found I ran more and had better progress a few years ago, when I had better running routes closer to my home (I’ve since moved) and only used a stopwatch (even a pedometer was distracting and unhelpful).

Does it overwrite the song metadata for BPMs? I might not use it as my main player, but I’d kill for an app that lets me input BPMs on my iPhone.

Yeah, mine said I’m smarter than 100% of the population. How’s it feel now, mortal?

Yay, 10 years! I miss Adam Dachis :(

Interesting. Kindle also has estimates on how long it takes users to read books, but I’ve found their calculations very, very off. Often, when I’m toward the end of a book, it’ll say “1 minute left in chapter” while I still have about 5-10 more minutes of it to go. Anyone know how Kindle estimates reading time?

AHHHHHHHH! One of my writerly heroes! This is fantastic!

Actually, it’s about ethics in lifehacking journalism.

I’m quitting my job and doing this. Holy crap, yes.
